PC/104 Modules

Advantech's PC/104 series include various CPU and add-on I/O modules, which feature compact size, ultra-low power, and PC/104, PCI-104, PC/104-Plus or PCM expansion with extended temperature support and high vibration/shock tolerance (MIL-STD certified).

PCM-3343 is a cost-effective System On Chip (SoC) PC/104 CPU module driven by the ultra low power DM&P Vortex86DX 800 MHz processor with 256 MB of DDR2 SDRAM memory on board. PCM-3343 has the standard dimensions of 96 x 90 mm in a fanless PC/104 architecture, supporting rich graphic output including VGA and 24-bit LVDS or TTL up to 1024 x 768 resolution. PCM-3343 delivers ultra low power consumption of less than 5 Watts under full load, and extended temperature support between -40 ~ 85° C. It is well-suited for those applications which need only basic CPU performance, but very low power consumption at an attractive price. This latest SoC CPU board will appeal to system integrators developing DOS, WinCE, WinXP Embedded and Linux –based OS applications in factory automation and industrial instrument fields as well as medical products and devices.

The PCM-3362, with the latest Intel&#174; Atom™ N450 processor, features a new super low-power design that doesn’t sacrifice performance. Rich I/O connectivity is provided with up to four USB 2.0 and three COM ports integrated into a standard 96 x 90 mm form factor. Even better, this PC/104-plus CPU board supports dual display for LVDS, and CRT. PCM-3362 is ideal for outdoor integration in military, transportation, and diverse space-saving embedded applications. PCM-3362 delivers super low-power consumption and extended temperature support, ranging from -40~85&#176; C in a ruggedly built board that’s highly resistant to vibration.

To fulfill rugged application demands, Advantech’s PCM-3363 supports DDR3 on board memory with lockable box wafer connecter for anti-vibration. PCM-3363 also has an enhanced reliable hardware design to guarantee 100% bootups, even when enduring low temperatures for extended periods of time, even down to -40&#176; C. It also ensures that abnormal transient power fluctuations won’t cause a system to freeze, making it suitable for un-manned and outdoor applications which occasionally experience unstable mains power.

The PCM-3614 is a PC/104-compatible module with four individually configurable RS-422/485 ports. It works with PC/104 CPU modules to extend additional RS-2422/485 ports. The PCM-3614 also features lots of functions such as high transmission speed of 921.6 kbps, shared IRQ and more. It also provides high-performance 16C550 UART communication chip with 16-byte FIFO to reduce CPU load. This makes the PCM-3614 especially suitable for multitasking environments.

The PCM-3680 is a special purpose communication module which offers connectivity of the Controller Area Network to your PC. With the built-in CAN controller, the PCM-3680 provides bus arbitration and error detection with automatic transmission repeat function.

PCM-3680I is designed for connecting control units and transmissions in automation applications. CAN enables real-time data transmission and error detection; and even when errors accidentally occur, CAN networks will automatically repeat transmissions, drastically reducing data loss and providing higher levels of security. Furthermore, PCM-3680I features an optical isolation protection of 2500 VDC which greatly ensures system reliability by protecting data against damage.

With onboard 32-ch isolated digital I/O and support for high-voltage isolation (2,500 VDC) on each input/output channel, the PCM-3730I can resist noise interference and delivers reliable performance. Additionally 32-ch isolation ensures accurate input/output data values while also allowing the system to simultaneously access more data.

The PCD-3835 is an IDE compatible Solid State Disk (SSD). The SSD uses a Flash memory chip to store data. You can read and write to the solid state disk just as you read and write to a hard disk drive. However, solid state disks are designed to be much more reliable in harsh industrial environments.

PCM-3810I is Advantech’s first multifunction PCI-104 module and integrates digital I/O, analog I/O, and counter functions in one small module for various embedded system applications, eliminating costs and saving space. To meet demanding task requirements, PCM-3810I possesses the highest sampling rate among all of Advantech’s PC/104 modules and supports many advanced trigger modes, such as pre-trigger, post-trigger, delay-trigger, and about-trigger.
